Travel Scotland - Travel Destinations

Despite its small size, Scotland has many treasures crammed into its compact territory. To travel Scotland is to experience the geological history and wild mountain scenery of the Scottish Highlands and Islands and to explore the industrialized cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Scotland is home to poet Robert Burns and the infamous haggis.

Scotland has a turbulent history, culture and fascinating genealogy. One of their regional languages alone, Scottish Gaelic, is appealing to those who want to learn more about the complex Scottish and Irish histories. Scotland offers other attractions as well, such as castles, cathedrals, abbeys, monasteries, the Scottish Countryside, country pubs, canoeing, golfing, fishing, caber-tossing and all-around good craic (lively conversation). When you travel Scotland, you're sure to have a unique and lovely experience.
